You wake up in the morning
You hear the ding dong ring
You go marching to the table
You see the same damn thing
The knife and fork are on the table
Nothing in my path
You say nothing about it
You're in trouble with a man
Who let the midnight special
Shine a light on me Oh, let the midnight special
Shine a ever-loving light on me Now you go down to Houston
You better walk right Boy,
you better not stagger
And you better not fight Or Sheriff Benson will arrest you
He'll take you down You say nothing about it
You're jailed and housebound Let the midnight special
Shine a light on me Oh, let the midnight special
Shine a ever-loving light on me
Yonder come little Rosie How in the world do you know
I can tell by her apron And the dress she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder Piece of paper in her hand
Goes a-marching to the captain Says,
I want my man
Let the midnight special Shine a light on me
Oh,
let the midnight special Shine a ever-loving light on me
One more time,
let the midnight special Shine a light on me
Oh,
let the midnight special Shine a ever-loving light on me
